naw dawg, unfilled vacancies on the 787 and 777. Will be easy to get in class or on first vacancy bid. Will likely be on reserve a while but blanket statements on the future have no value in this environment.

8 new hires have, or will have the DCA 777 as their initial bid.
1 new hire got DCA 787 as their initial bid.
With zero unfilleds on the current snapshots on the 777/787 in DCA, no new hire is going to get WB FO in DCA as their initial assignment. And the current snapshots awards range from 2+ years seniority to over 25 years to hold (777 FO). So yeah im pretty safe in saying its going to be a while on reserve if a new hire gets it, just based on actual numbers.

the 737 isn’t as bad as people make it sound. It’s an oddly capable plane, with like 7 decades of tech all merged into one machine. Yeah, it has its issues, but it’s…..fine I guess? For seniority, good trips, and growth, it’s hard to beat. Plus, everything after wil just be easier and nicer.

true,
but based on the company’s projection as published in the latest CRU, there will be zero 787 FO vacancies and only 10 777 FO vacancies to fill summer 2023 flying needs. So not much opportunity for unfilled Wb bids for a new hire to get any time soon.
